Need pic for 4 receiver setup

[pjm8047]

Does anyone have a pic of a 3 receiver setup with a dish 500 with legacy duel LNB's?

i don't have a picture, but if you plan on keeping the legacy duals, you just need to take those into a multi-switch, like a SW64, or something like it.
If it was me, I would replace the duals with a legacy quad.

Why is the quad better and Do I need to take both cables from each lnb to the switch?

With a Leg Quad, you will not need a switch if you plan on only have up to 4 tuners. The switching is built internally to the LNB

So there is four outputs and each goes directly to the receiver?

I've got a legacy quad I would be happy to swap for 2 dual legacy lnbs if you are interested.

That would give you a built in multiswitch for the 4 receivers.

What model recveivers are you using? If you can use Dish Pro quad I would go that route, that way if you want to add more receivers in the future you can just add add DP34 switch to the DP quad

If you are using legacy receivers, disregard my ramblings

I have a 3000,4900, and getting a 501 dvr. I know the 3000,and 4900 will not work on a dish pro.
